I hesitated jumping in, but wanted to answer a few of the questions mentioned here (questions I field nearly every day). <BR/><BR/>First, I think both Drew and Dimitri have a good handle on this series. Everyone has different styles of writing and presentation, which are of course subjective to the reader. The real meaningful issues are Theodore P.

I was not impressed, however, with his writing style, which is somewhat florid and relies too heavily on quotes (many of these being quotes any Civil War reader has read dozens of times). The post-Gettysburg phase is given scant attention.

I don't know what Beatie's ultimate goal is, but it is clearly not possible for any single person to do it all the way to Appomattox at the current 2-3 months of CW time interval per volume. The commitment must be extraordinary!<BR/><BR/>I haven't read Wert's AofP book.<BR/><BR/>DrewDrew W.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00018056113264346047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16471073.post-26032023554636902152007-05-24T10:52:00.000-07:002007-05-24T10:52:00.000-07:00Hello DrewThanks for the update the subject certai...Hello Drew<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the update the subject certainly is interesting. Much more interested in ANV, but it is good to see both sides.<BR/><BR/>I noticed in the posts you referenced from the other blog that Beatie mentioned other authors that were working on similar studies? Had you ever heard that before? Just curious if you know who it might have been?<BR/><BR/>Based on how much timeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16471073.post-13703558002712404822007-05-24T07:02:00.000-07:002007-05-24T07:02:00.000-07:00Gotcha.
